English Language

Introduction

The English Language curriculum in school aims to help students become independent lifelong learners and problem solvers who can meet the changing socio-economic demands and communicate effectively in English. To achieve this, there are different activities for students to use English in various authentic situations and contexts. Students are encouraged to read widely and respond creatively to problems and new technology.

Objectives

To provide students with opportunities to use English to extend their knowledge and experience.
To develop their knowledge, skills, values and attitudes in life in order to become lifelong learners.
To encourage students to take ownership of their learning by developing their proper attitude toward learning, making use of appropriate problem-solving strategies and thinking skills through self-directed learning activities.
To enrich students’ English learning experience by arranging different activities.

Reading Buddies

Reading Buddies is a face-to-face book sharing activity held at recess time. We aim to provide our students with more opportunities to read some fun English books. Buddy Reading helps students to cultivate interests in reading as a hobby. It also strengthens their English language ability and creativity. Moreover, their social skills and interpersonal relationships will be enhanced through the program.

Learning Beyond The Classroom

To promote students’ proficiency and confidence in English, the school always encourages students to join different competitions and activities like the Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival and Hong Kong School Drama Festival. Through these fun-filled and creative language activities, our students’ communication skills and confidence in conversational English could be fostered.
